Veal Omelet.–Take four pounds of lean veal, and on and a half of fat salt pork; chop them very fine, or run them through a sausage cutter; add one tablespoon of salt, on of black pepper; two of sage or summer savory, four tablespoonfulls (sic) of bread crums (sic) or pulverized crackers, four eggs, and two gills of sweet cream; mix eggs, cream and bread (or crackers) together, then add the other ingredients; bake in a deep pan three or four hours; put on the top small bits of butter, before cooking; when done, turn it out on a platter, and cut it in slices as you would bead cheese. It will keep for several days.
Clear Apple Jelly.–Pare and cut up five dozen large, juicy, acid apples; put them in a pan with as much water as will cover them, boil gently until soft, let them cool, then strain them through a jelly bag; put the juice in your preserving pan, and to each pint of juice put on pound of fine sugar, and the peel of two lemons; then boil it until it is reduced to the stiffness of calves’s foot jelly: skim it will; add the juice of a lemon.
So many questions! What are “acid apples?” What’s a “jelly bag?” What’s a “preserving pan?” And what’s “calve’s foot jelly??” –Ed.
Queen of Puddings.–One pint of bread crumbs, one quart sweet milk, four eggs, a lump of butter the size of a hickory nut. When the pudding is nearly done, spread a layer of any kind of stewed fruit over the top of it, and on the top of that, spread the whites of three eggs, beaten to a froth, with three tablespoonfuls of white sugar. Set it in the oven again, to stiffen the froth. Eat with cream and sugar.
Good Hams.–After the hams have been smoked, take them down and thoroughly rub the flash part with molasses, then immediately part apply ground of powdered pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will stick to the molasses, when they must be hung up again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep perfectly sweet for two or three years. This must be done before the fly deposits its egg, for after that is done nothing will stop their ravages.
